Yea . . .
Why is the Job worth the effort to travel to a nation which has no respect for individual liberty?
Why work for such a nation?
Why lend them your mind, skills, and labor?

Money trumps ethics?

Thanks for tagging me in this post @NotConvinced. A good start would be to check out the one post I did about the top 10 security and privacy focused apps, while most are for Android some are for Apple too. A reliable VPN is a must, or if you have Android I'd recommend Orbot too. If you want a separate space on your phone, I would suggest looking up the app Parallel Space, which can clone apps and manage them separately, useful for having more than one account on a single device. Hope that helps some.

I wish I had some advice or helpful knowledge here, but I don't. I think it's awful that you have to worry about this at all. Shows just how primitive Humankind is. Religion poisons everything.

I just imagine all of the people there who are also Athiest, just in fear of making it known.

Stay safe
